Brazil go into the Olympics as one of the favourites, while Martinelli has described playing for Brazil as a dream come true, earlier in January.

Speaking to DAZN Brazil as quoted in the Sun, Martinelli said: “I am Brazilian and my dream, of course, is to play for Brazil.”

Martinelli will be significantly involved in Arsenal’s campaign next season with both Arsenal’s star strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette linked with moves away from the Emirates.
